The World No.4 accepted a wildcard and comes into the event as the top seed ahead of No.2 Gael Monfils, No.3 John Isner and No.4 Steve Johnson.

It’s the first time the 12-time Grand Slam winner has played a grass court event between Roland Garros and Wimbledon since 2010.

“This will be my first trip to Eastbourne, I have heard great things about the tournament,” said the 12-time Grand Slam champion. “I am looking forward to fine tuning my grass court game there ahead of Wimbledon.”

The line-up also includes eight of the world’s top 10 WTA women players and a duo of British men.

British stars Kyle Edmund and Aljaz Bedene join a stellar men’s line up.

Eastbourne’s Konta said, “I feel fortunate to be able to participate in a home town event - I guess not many players can say that.

“Everything about it is great. It’s a relaxed tournament and a great fan experience because it’s close up and intimate.
